Microsoft announces general availability of the browser automation tool in Foundry, giving agents a managed browser to navigate sites, fill forms and run multistep workflows. It runs on Playwright Workspaces.
What the article says
Agents can navigate websites, inspect content, complete forms and run multistep workflows from natural-language instructions. The tool runs on Playwright Workspaces, which provisions isolated cloud browser sessions on demand, although the Playwright Workspace must be provisioned separately as an Azure resource. It supports prompt agents, hosted agents and GitHub Copilot harness support.
The agent observes the page, picks an operation, performs it and verifies the resulting state. Private network connectivity reaches applications behind an Azure virtual network, while Microsoft Entra and RBAC limit access. The tool integrates with Toolboxes in Foundry through an MCP-compatible endpoint, with allow lists, approvals and tracing. Live View lets operators watch sessions and Take control lets a person step in; the post also advises requiring approval for state-changing operations.
